August 11th, 2018

Of London, Ontario passed away suddenly, August 11th 2018, at the age 38. He was the victim of a fatal motorcycle accident. Beloved son of Elizabeth (Betty) Howard and the late Bob Howard. Phil was a genuine, compassionate and loyal son, brother, partner, uncle, cousin and nephew. He was the most caring and loving soul so full of life and always ready to give freely to family and friends. He enjoyed sports and was a dedicated team member. Phil’s optimism and zest for life was contagious, he could brighten up anyone’s day no matter what darkness was around. He refused to let anyone be unhappy and was always ready with a joke or something silly to make you smile. Phil has left behind an insurmountable hole in all of our hearts. He truly was a one of a kind.
